Through the Wasteland

Mirenheart

First time out of the vault
This is a poem I made up a few years ago. Decided I might as well post it here. And yes, I do realize the Harold is a mutant, and not a ghoul.

He walked out of the Vault
Blinded by the sun
He looked around and thought,
“This won’t be fun.”

His task was simple
He couldn’t stop
He had to find a virus
Without spilling a drop

With a dog by his side
And a pistol in his hand
He set off on a journey
Into the wasteland

He met many people
As he traveled the harsh plains
He helped many a person
And put others through pains

He met great obstacles
He had to fight through
He had to eat a man
Maybe even two

With a dog by his side
And a pistol in his hand
He continued his journey
Through the Great Sand

As he went on through
He become well known
Suddenly one day
He left to the unknown

When he came back
He didn’t look real
He was covered in armor
From the Brotherhood of Steel

With a dog by his side
And a pistol in his hand
He thought of his home
As he traveled the land

He saw many a thing
Much like rotten feet
And made a new friend
Whose name was Dogmeat

Dogmeat was loyal
He was great
He always took hits
It must have been fate

With a dog by his side
And a pistol in his hand
He never looked back
He never was in demand

He saw strange things
One was a ghoul
His name was Harold
He seemed to drool

He had a tree in his head
That seemed to throb
He called it Herbert
But it was really Bob

With a dog by his side
And a pistol in his hand
He went into awar
He didn’t take command

The Enclave appeared
With some fiendish plan
The brotherhood almost failed
They relied on one man

He took his pistol
And won the fight
But he had been hit
He died that night

And Dogmeat howled
As another master died
And again he set out
Into the land that’s dried

And the Vault did wither
It shriveled and crumbled
They cursed all war
As they were crushed by a rumble

And the people wonder
Usually with a buzz
Why these things happen…
.
Well, that’s because
.
.
War
.
.
War never changes
